<html><head></head><body><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div>Hi,</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>I&#39;ve discovered some very strange behaviour when trying to delete a QWidget from a QGridLayout. The following code demonstrates this behaviour:</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&gt;&gt;&gt; from PyQt4 import QtGui</div>

<div>&gt;&gt;&gt; import sys</div>

<div>&gt;&gt;&gt; app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)</div>

<div>&gt;&gt;&gt; grid_layout = QtGui.QGridLayout()<br/>
&gt;&gt;&gt; grid_layout.addWidget(QtGui.QWidget())<br/>
&gt;&gt;&gt; item = self.grid_layout.takeAt(0)<br/>
&gt;&gt;&gt; item.deleteLater()</div>

<div>Traceback (most recent call last):<br/>
&nbsp; File &quot;&lt;stdin&gt;&quot;, line 1, in &lt;module&gt;<br/>
AttributeError: &#39;QWidgetItem&#39; object has no attribute &#39;deleteLater&#39;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>This makes no sense to me whatsoever. Firstly, why is it returning a QWidgetItem when I inserted a QWidget to begin with? Secondly, every Qt object derives from QObject, and deleteLater() is a method of QObject, so that method should exist. Additional info:</div>

<div>
<div>Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56)<br/>
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2</div>

<div>using PyQt4</div>
</div></div></body></html>
